Oh, yes. But you missed one of my points. On my alpha, I got stopped due to not having enough skill points. And then a month later, I was able to start getting levels again. How did I do this? With log-in rewards…
So let’s so some math here. It took about a month for me to get enough skill points to be able to continue to advance up. If you log in every day for a month, you get 75,000 skill points. If your attributes haven’t been remapped, you earn 30 skill points per minute.
75k divided by 30 is 2500 minutes. 2500 divided by 60 is 41 hours, 40 minutes. In less than 2 days of skill learning, I would be back to leveling up Project Discovery.
So, let’s look at my full argument:
Oh, look… the math shows my second point is valid. It would have taken 720 hours (30 days times 24 hours) as an alpha compared to 42 hours. It took 5.8% of the time as an Omega to “unlock” the restriction.
Maybe you’re right about this whole Omega vs. Alpha thing… I think I’ll contact CCP and tell them that they should just lock Project Discovery from Alpha accounts because it’s a form of game play that isn’t an inherent part of Eve Online.
How do you like that solution? Actually, I don’t like it… its too punishing to new players…
